9. 'GO' using the Canadian Byo-yomi method (Options 19 and

20)

This method is derived from the original Japanese Byo-yomi method of

the game 'GO'. When playing with traditional clocks was the method

that was most commonly used, an official who would be in control of the

time using a stopwatch would always accompany the players.

The player gets an extra 5 or 10 minutes of extra thinking time to

complete a predetermined number of moves, usually 10 or 15, after the

standard thinking time has been used up. See the chapter on

'Operation', paragraph 8.

10. Scrabble

+ Upcount (Option 21)

In Scrabble, games have to be finished, even if a player exceeds the

available thinking time. The more time a player uses after exceeding the

available thinking time, the bigger the number of points that will be

subtracted.

You can use Upcount as an independent method by choosing

manual settings (option 00). This way, the display will show 0

seconds when starting the game.

11. Hourglass (Option 22)

The thinking time for the player to move decreases, while

simultaneously the opponent's thinking time increases.

This method offers an exciting alternative to the traditional 'quickie'.

Operation

1. Batteries

The DGT XL requires 2 AA (penlight) batteries. We recommend alkaline

batteries.

To insert the batteries, remove the cover from the battery

compartment on the bottom of the timer by clicking on it.

NOTE: If you do not plan to use your timer for a long period, we

recommend that you remove its batteries.

If 'BAT' (Fig. 2G) appears on the timer display, the batteries are

nearly discharged and should be replaced as soon as possible. When

this message first appears, the batteries still contain enough energy to

allow the current game to be completed.

2. Switching on the DGT XL

Switch the time on and off with the ON/OFF switch on the bottom of

the DGT XL. If you want to reset the clock after a game you will have

to switch off the clock first using the ON/OFF switch.

3. Choosing an option number

When you switch on the timer, the display shows the option number

that was last selected. Press the

(+1) or

change the number on the timer's display (Fig. 1).

4. Activating an option number

When the selected option number appears in the display, press

to activate this number. The starting time will now appear in the

display.

For details on manual settings (option 00), see the Manual

Settings section.

5. Buzzer

The DGT XL has an automatic sound signal, which indicates that a

player approaches and exceeds the time limit. Switch the buzzer on or

off by pressing and holding the sound button

seconds. The symbol

in the display (Fig. 2 E) shows the sound signal

is switched on.

6. Starting a game

After activating the option number, press the Run/Pause button

start the timer. Ensure the lever is in the correct position before the

game begins. This is especially important when playing 'Fischer' or

'Bronstein', as the clock will 'know' who is to play white and who is to

play black by recognizing the initial position of the lever. The display

will show which side has started the game playing white.

7. Color indication

Central in the display of the DGT XL the icons

player is playing which color (Fig. 2 F). To set this default, ensure the

lever is in the correct position before starting the timer. White is always

the side where the lever is lifted at the start of a game. The automatic

move counter will respond to this position.

When playing 'Fischer' in multiple periods where transitions to the next

period are dependent on a predetermined number of moves, it is

extremely important to set the correct color indication, as otherwise the

automatic adding of extra time per move will fail during transitions.

8. Temporarily stopping the timer

During the course of a game, you can temporarily stop the timer by

pressing the Run/Pause

(–1) buttons in order to

Restart the timer by pressing the Run/Pause button

9. Move counter

During the course of a game, you can check the number of completed

moves by pressing the

continue normally.
